PROGRAM DESCRIPTION OF INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ADMINISTRATIVE SCIENCE (ICAS) 2017 MAKASSAR, 20 21 NOVEMBER 2017 A. Background Public administration in developing nations is a transformation process mainly influenced by colonization and globalization process which is embedded in a systemic domination of Western society (Haque, 2013 1 ; Thadani, 2005 2 ; Farazmand, 1999 3 ; Ekekwe, 1977 4 ). The transfer of concepts and practices from one society to another is full of pitfalls and barriers due to different social, cultural and historical backgrounds. Kuruvilla (1965) 5 has addressed this dilemma since four decades ago and pointed out several problems in applying Western public administration in emerging societies, particularly in India. Hence, a classic study of Fred W. Riggs (1964) 6 proposed a prismatic approach to understand the process of administration in transitional society and suggested considering ecological contexts of nonwestern nations. In addition, Haque (1996) 7 considered that the inherited and borrowed Western model is often incompatible in developing societies since it makes their public administration systems contextless. Consequently, most public organizations in developing countries are reluctant to change and tend to uphold their traditional values. The bureaucrats in developing nations, however, are more likely to follow the new structure and form of the Western model, but they have no intention of making the actual transformation, specifically in cultural sense (Painter and Peters, 2010) 8. As a result, this condition leads to undermanaged administration system which can impede the developing countries to accelerate the achievement of the sustainable development goals agenda in 2030. 1 Haque, M S (2013) Public Administration in a Globalized Asia: Intellectual Identities, Challenges, and Prospects, Public Administration Development, Vo. 33: 262 274 2 Thadhani, R (2005) Between Monocles and Veils: Glimpses in Postcolonial Public Administration, International Journal of Public Administration, Vol. 28 (11-12): 973-988 3 Farazmand, A (1999) Globalization and Public Administration.

In theoretical perspective, the domination of Western public administration theories tends to homogenize global administrative sciences and undermine indigenous administrative knowledge in developing societies (Haque, 2013; Candler et. al, 2010 9 ; Raadschelders, 2008 10 ). In reality, some public administration scholars have proposed various perspectives of nonwestern administration to provide alternative approaches in analyzing public administration issues in emerging societies. For example, African public administration (Itika et. al, 2011 11 ); indigenous governance practice in Philippines (Buendia et.al.,2006 12 ); Islamic public administration (Kalantari, 1998 13, Drechsler, 2013 14 ); Chinese, Korean and Confusion public administration (Kalantari, 1998; Jun, 2006 15 ; Drechsler, 2013). Despite having proposed alternative perspectives, scholars of developing countries are still underrepresented in knowledge production, utilization and exploration of conceptual theoretical non-western public administrations (Haque, 2013). Hence, it is necessary to develop extensive discourses of indigenous administrative knowledge in developing countries in order to have inclusive and multicultural world of public administration. Based on this point of view, The Department of Administrative Science, Hasanuddin University, in cooperation with Indonesian Association for Public Administration (IAPA), initiates a forum for all scholars of public administration, researchers and practitioners to gather and share ideas, research, practices, and experiences regarding challenges of public administration in developing countries. Hence, we cordially invite all colleagues to present their papers in International Conference on Administrative Science (ICAS) 2017 in Makassar, Indonesia 9 Candler GG, Azevedo A, Albernaz RO (2010) Towards Global Scholarship in Public Affairs, Public Administration 88(3): 836 850 10 Raadschelders JCN (2008) Understanding Government: Four Intellectual Traditions in the Study of Public Administration, Public Administration, 86(4): 925 949 11 Itika, J., Ridder, Kd, and Tollenaar, A.
